Titan Usa TC20224 Drill Bit Size 24 Solid Carbide 135 Deg

Product Description

The TITAN USA TC20224 is a screw machine length drill bit engineered for precision drilling in metalworking and machining applications. Built from solid carbide, it delivers superior hardness and wear resistance compared to high-speed steel alternatives. The 135-degree split point geometry reduces walking on entry and requires no center punch on most materials. At 2 inches overall length and a wire gauge size of 24 (0.1520 inch decimal), this stub-length bit provides rigidity and reduced deflection in short-reach drilling setups. The bright uncoated finish suits general-purpose use across a range of workpiece materials. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die technicians, and precision fabricators are the primary installers and users.

This drill bit is suited for close-tolerance drilling in CNC machining centers, drill presses, and manual mills where screw machine length provides increased stability over jobber-length bits. The straight cylindrical shank allows direct chucking in standard drill chucks and collet systems. Its 7/8-inch flute length and regular spiral design promote consistent chip evacuation in through-hole and blind-hole operations on metal, plastics, and composite materials. The Series 200 designation places it in a standardized product line for wire gauge sizing.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction for hardness and extended tool life in demanding materials
• 135-degree split point reduces thrust force and eliminates center-punch requirement on entry
• Screw machine (stub) length provides rigidity and minimizes deflection in tight setups
• Regular spiral flute design promotes reliable chip evacuation in through and blind holes
• Bright uncoated finish suitable for general-purpose metalworking applications
• Straight cylindrical shank for direct compatibility with standard drill chucks and collets

Compatibility

Designed as a screw machine length replacement drill bit for wire gauge size 24 applications requiring a straight shank and solid carbide construction in the 0.1500 to 0.2000 inch decimal inch size range.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by qualified machinists or tool operators familiar with cutting tool safety. Ensure the spindle is fully stopped and the machine is powered down before changing or inspecting tooling. Verify chuck or collet runout is within acceptable tolerance before use, as excessive runout accelerates carbide wear and can cause premature breakage. Coolant through is not supported on this bit; external coolant or cutting fluid application is recommended when drilling ferrous metals.
